Cut Flowers 2017

[Guest]

Thank you NS. Just grateful for how generous people are info and advice when it comes to flowers and gardening. I hated it when I went to shows and exhibitions in the UK when I studied art - people were so guarded and reluctant to talk but not in the planty world Plus I get this year to play around and see what works for me and I am loving it

I agree with Nannysally, gorgeous arrangements NG. I meant to ask you about the first photo in post #44, what are the pom pom-shaped plants? Are they some sort of allium?

Thank you. The pom pom one is a white/green welsh onion (I assume the white and green are the same, ones I have grown in the past have looked the same) I left plenty on the plant for the bees

Edit: Forgot to say, still no onion smell in the house

Thank you. It is lovely to hear you like the arrangements. I was planning on having some fun sessions when there is more cutting material but I wasn't intending to put it on here but I will treat you now (or inflict you if you anyone is just being nice ). Various pics are being used to go on a site but being business related I haven't linked it here. I am a good girl

I seldom cut flowers for the house as they last longer growing, but these had been bashed almost to the soil by a heavy shower.

Just picked these 3 beauty's - there were 24 stems yesterday with many more to come
Please ignore my pathetic attempt at greenery - wilting rose of Sharon foliage

They look lovely with the greenery!

They are lovely WPG and NS . My callas are only now popping up let alone flowering

This arum lily is humongous

Week 23. Bit early but don't think I will have time to do them over the weekend. Oh and I cut rather a few but several were wind damaged

[Guest]

Oops, sorry I forgot one .

As promised, pics of 'Fun Session 1' (Tied buttonholes and a wired corsage)



Feel free to give constructive criticism, I won't mind (Actually, I would be grateful)

Just delightful NG, they have a lovely 'rustic' look
